  1. Future WMO Information System (FWIS) Hiroyuki Ichijo (Japan Meteorological Agency) • WMO/WSIS Session on Reducing Natural Disaster Risk • through Technical Opportunities of Information Society • Applications of ICT in Natural Disaster Risk Reduction • (Kobe, Japan, 21 January 2004)

  2. Hydrology and Water Resources Programme Aeronautical Meteorology Programme Marine Meteorology and Oceanographic Programme World Weather Watch Programme Atmospheric Research and Environment Programme Maritime Safety Pollution response Argo There are various WMO programmes. Each programme has traditionally worked independently with each information system. Introduction

  3. Space Programme World Climate Programme Natural Disaster Prevention and Mitigation However the needs of a coordinated common system rapidly expanded because of demerits of system multiplicity and emerging new crosscutting programmes. Furthermore evolving technology accelerated the needs. On the background, the innovative FWIS project was born in 1999.

  4. The Future WMO Information System (FWIS) will be a single coordinated global infrastructure for collecting and sharing information to support all WMO and related international programmes. 1. Vision The FWISwill meet information exchange requirements of all WMO programmes without informationincompatibilities, inefficiencies, duplication of effort, limitation in sharing valuable information and higher overall costs. The FWIS will provide a flexible and extensible structure that allowsNational Meteorological or Hydrological Services (NMHSs) to enhance their capabilities as their national and international responsibilities grow.

  5. With the latest breakthroughs in Information Communication Technology (ICT), the FWIS concept has been developed. The concept provides a common roadmap to guide the orderly evolution of the information system functions performed by current WMO Programmes into an integrated system. 2. Roadmap Currently various pilot projects on promising technologies with prototype evaluation are under progress towards early implementation. Renaming from “FWIS” to “ WIS (WMO Information System)” is expected. FWIS Implementation Pilot Projects Concept WIS

  6. Interoperability of information systems • Providing online catalogue and metadata of all information • Standardization/Harmonization of information formats • Providing functions to discover and share information in distributed information sources • Supporting real-time, quasi real-time and non-real-time information exchange 3. Main challenges • Smooth and coordinated transition • Building upon the most successful components of existing WMO systems • Scalable and sustainable system • Supporting various standard communication protocols and links • Using international industry standards and off-the-shelf hardware and software systems
